A waxwork of Coronation Street's Ken Barlow
at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool is removed
over fears of it being damaged.

probably the greatest similarity between waxwork and real person i've ever seen

terrifying

which one is the real one

The one doing the inappropriate touching.

If his lawyer was smart, he'd get the waxwork to take the rap.

Sadly the form to send a postcard to a friend no longer works ;_;

the fates of those 90s presenters hang on shoogly pegs

How exactly has S**** B**** has managed to keep out of the hands of the rozzers though?

gave them tragic sob story about partner having cancer and kids being taken away then played "Careless Whisper"

William Roache charged with indecent assault

BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for sexually abusing girls.

15 *months*? FFS.

His barrister Crispin Aylett, in mitigation, told the court the former broadcaster had "all of 13" victims compared to Jimmy Savile's 1,300.

"Please bear in mind m'lud that my client only killed three people and Hitler killed six million..."

Ian Brady said something very similar, just now.

also "over a quarter of a century ago" as if we should all just forget about it. this barrister crispin aylett sounds like a seriously unpleasant piece of shit

on same note, im surprised and gladdened that he's been brought to justice for this, esp considering the conviction rate for a) sex crimes and b) so long after the fact. good in loads of ways, warning sign to any current toerags and endless sleepless nights for all the scumbags of yesteryear

i never really made up my mind re: the whole pinochet thing: 'should a knackered old man be put to trial', but the savile thing put me firmly on the 'hound those fuckers on their deathbed if need be' camp

15 months??????????? fucking hell

people have been sentenced longer for graffiti and for stealing six bottles of mineral water.

Must have played his joker lol.

Seriously though, wtf.

bun the bad man

Just for comparison...

Apparently it is real, was published in 1985

Recently republished under the title "Watch out for the pedo on the cover of this book, oh wait never mind he's dead...".

Impressively creepy profile of Savile from 2010:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1329332/Jimmy-Savile-Prince-Charles-saucy-French-maids.html

Now, he spends up to three weeks each month wandering hospital wards, flirting outrageously with delighted patients and perching on the edge of their beds, asking:
‘Have you got any clothes on? Could you move over a bit, darling?’
